This week I continued to develop my full rough draft due this upcoming Wednesday. I am working on introducing more information on the occupations of each city to help the reader understand the unique circumstances of women in the resistance as well as including a few more women’s experiences. I have gathered a plethora of secondary sources which I have researched at length. However, I wanted to delve deeper into my primary sources. This would lead to my first major snag of the semester. I had discovered an incredible digital archive, provided by the Verzets Resistance Museum in Amsterdam. When I went to click on the links I had saved previously…
404 FOUTMELDING! Over and over again, each link I clicked! 404 ERROR MESSAGE …I couldn’t believe it… how could this be happening to me! I released a guttural howl and went into full meltdown mode…
After my fiancée was able to get me to calm down…
I found the contact information for the museum and emailed them as well as sent a direct message to their Instagram. They replied saying they had recently updated the website and to send the links I was using so they could see where it had been moved to. After sending the links, this was their reply…
I have sent over an email with the exact artifacts I was researching. I am disappointed I lost such a great resource, however, I am excited to be working directly with the museum and I look forward to hearing back from them soon.
